One somber exhibit focuses on the danger and violence that many women encounter. This exhibit features art depicting the deaths of women in Juárez, Mexico, a border town across the river from El Paso, Texas. Since 1993 there have been thousands of women killed in Juárez, with most of the murders remaining unsolved. A notecard provides excellent information about this tragedy as well as information about the violence related to the drug trade.
The exhibit also showcases the talents of many SL women residents. A few of my favorites were "Masks", a pastel by Juliete3d Quintzet, "Storm Spirit" by Fuschia Nightfire, "Wikked", an acrylic and mixed media work by Trill Zapatero, and "Starcosis Hunts" by Eleses Faulkes. A large variety of styles and price ranges are available.
The exhibit runs through March 19.
